Some architects thought the Nelson house looked like a bubble. Others called it “a crystal ball sliced in half.”

"The iden makes wonder- ful reading, but it's horrible architecture," said Edgar Tufel, a New York architect who was with the famous Frank Lloyd Wright for nine years.

A MIRROR

hall gives your guests the first impres- sign of your home. Don't make it a dreary

Worst problem is the narrow hall. Keep it as empty as possible. Rely on clever use of colour and wall treatment to give it gaiety. Do not use violent, largo-scale "patterns on walls or fabrics in a cramped space.

Use -small-scale pletures (lower prints, costume prints, engravings, miniatures, etc.), which invite close inspection. Use large mirrors

for added sense of space. Remember vertical stripes on walls give added height; horizontal stripes emphasise length, Stripes across a nar- row floor or
